Il consueto appuntamento post-E3 con i Game Critics Awards sembra avere un vero e proprio protagonista: Rage, con le sue cinque nomination tra cui quella di miglior gioco.
Per chi non avesse le idee chiare, Game Critics Awards è un’iniziativa promossa da prestigisi nomi dell’industria e del giornalismo videoludico che annualmente elegge i giochi più promettenti visti alla fiera di Los Angeles.
Per quanto riguarda il reparto “curiosità”, si segnalano 46 nomination totali per giochi Xbox 360 contro le 39 di PS3 (e vai di flame…). Ben 15 nomination per la tentacolare Electronic Arts.
